Chapter 269: The Ungifted

The monsters' offensive was dismantled.

However, it will take some time for the panic they have caused to subside.

Andesa walked steadily along the walls of the Winter Wolf Fortress with a sword at her waist, and she patrolled the line after the battle, and the sight made her frown.

The scarlet giants who came out of nowhere did not set foot in the fortress, and the heroic Typhon soldiers repelled those terrible enemies on the city walls, but the fierce attitude of those monsters when attacking and the strange "erosion" destructive power were still terrifying, and the huge scars eroded by the corrosive energy arrows could be seen everywhere on the city walls, and the soldiers who were directly attacked by the energy arrows were either miserable deaths or seriously injured, and the ordinary metal armor had little protection against that kind of strange attack, It seems that only enchanted or magical metal armor can effectively resist monster attacks - but how many people in an entire army can afford to be equipped with a full set of magical weapons?

Andesa stood on the edge of the city wall and looked down, she saw that the surface of the boulder wall below was mottled and wounded, and there were several huge pin erosion marks that even spread all the way to the height of the battlements - in the final stage of the battle, several special individuals with extremely large size and strong resistance to blows appeared among the blood giants, and the attack sent by the magisters could not stop them, and those monsters destroyed the defenses of the mages with a strange magic lightning, He then climbed the city wall with rolling logs and falling rocks and rain of arrows, and although he was eventually destroyed, he left several horrific damage on the wall.

An adjutant came from the rear and handed a report to Andessa: "General Andessa, the dead and wounded soldiers have been counted, please take a look." ”

Andesa took the report with a heavy heart, the monster attack was sudden, and the soldiers had never fought a similar enemy, so the battle was not easy to win, and the report even seemed a little glaring to her.

"Take it down, according to the rules, give the families of the dead, treat the wounded, and send those who can't continue to fight back home - write them a certificate of heroic fighting, and at least have enough food and clothing when they go back," Andesa returned the report to her adjutant with some irritation, and then turned her head to look at the plains that had been covered with a layer of dirt and blood, "You say...... Where did these monsters come from? ”

The plain in front of the Winter Wolf Fortress was covered with snow and was silvery white, but the giants had dyed the whole land an ominous dark red, and the slain monsters fell to the land, their flesh and blood melted and flowed like mud, and as they corroded the earth, they rose into billowing smoke and dust, and soon left behind only huge skeletons, which were formidable to look atβ€”Andesa had faced all sorts of enemies, but this was the first time she had seen anything like it.

The adjutant didn't expect the general to ask him this question, and he was stunned for a moment before he said uncertainly: "The original sentry reported that those monsters were coming from the pass of the Dark Mountain Range, so ...... It should be in the direction of Ansu. ”

"Ansu?" Andelsa's expression gradually became gloomy, "That country ......"

"But it doesn't have to be Ansu," the lieutenant added his thoughts, "General, the Dark Mountains are next to the ...... of the Gondor wasteland."

"You suspect those monsters came out of the Gondor wasteland?" Andesa raised her eyebrows and looked at the adjutant with some surprise, "This idea is very bold. ”

"We've received information that 'unknown monsters' have been attacked in Ansu, rumored to be some kind of monster that has wandered out of the Gondor wasteland," the lieutenant reminded Andelsa, "If more monsters wander out of the wasteland and along the natural barrier of the Dark Mountains, then it is indeed possible that they will wander this way......

"But the Gondor Wasteland is blocked by a great wall," Andesa immediately frowned, "Didn't the watchtower on the border also say that the barrier was fine?" ”

"Those watchtowers are useless, they're too far from the wasteland."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Go and prepare the griffons," said Andesa after a short mutter, "and must tell His Majesty the Emperor what is happening here!" ”

After giving her instructions, Andesa looked up at the hazy mountains to the southwest, and although she could not see the scene behind them, she knew that the Gondor wasteland was in that direction, and the magnificent wall built by the elves was there.

Thinking of the Great Wall and the Sentinel Towers that support it, Andesa couldn't help but feel a little envious - it is said that those ancient magical towers have powerful communication powers, which can transmit information along the borders of the entire Great Wall back to the Silver Empire in an instant, and it is this incredible ancient technology that the elves use to maintain the monitoring of the entire barrier system, and in the Gondor era seven hundred years ago, humans also had similar technology.

But now, these technologies have been seriously broken and degraded, and the existing communication magic is either expensive or ineffective, most magic communication towers can only transmit information within a few kilometers, and the cost of building a tower is still frightening, and several major fortresses on the border line can also rely on magic to transmit messages, but if you want to transmit the message from the border back to the imperial capital...... Or can only rely on the traditional griffon messenger.

Proposals to set up hundreds of magic towers along the border to the imperial capital to convey information are not uncommon, and similar proposals have been debated repeatedly in the noble council for many years, but the discussion has only one result: no money, no people.

The cost of hundreds of magic communication towers is enough to empty the empire's annual tax revenue, and the magic materials used as strategic reserves in the treasury will also be depleted - you must know that the magic circle of communication spells is extremely complex, and can only be made with the rarest high-grade materials, but it is absolutely impossible to take all those materials to build hundreds of immovable towers.

What's more, even if they are created, who will maintain and control them? Only mages can control magic, and complex large-scale magic devices require multiple spellcasters to maintain together, and hundreds of resident magic transmission towers mean that half of the mages in the Imperial Mage Corps have to become "tower keepers", which is more unacceptable than the cost of money.

Andesa had all sorts of thoughts swirling in her mind, as an aristocratic officer who had been in charge of the military at a young age and had a family background, she knew better than anyone how important the transmission of information could be in war, but she could not do anything about it.

After all, she has no magical talent.

Cecil Ling, Jenny Perrault, who served as the director of the Rune Research Institute, put down the drawings and rune substrates in his hand and stretched a long lazy waist.

She looked up from behind her desk and couldn't help but smile as she looked at the few apprentices at a few tables not far away who were burying their heads in calculations or gathering together to exchange ideas.

These apprentices are the newcomers who have been added to the Rune Research Institute since its establishment, and the number is very small, but it is much better than the situation where she was the only commander of the light pole here at the beginning.

Half of these apprentices are from the Cecil Domain, and they are the original rune craftsmen or rune masters in the territory who have "transferred" from the territory, and they themselves have basic knowledge in the field of practical runes, and they are talented in logic and mathematics, so they were assigned here as Jenny's assistants after a "talent skills inspection", while the other few were down-and-out scholars and mage apprentices recruited by the lord from other places, and they were also sent over because of their good qualifications.

To be honest, these people need to be cultivated when they first arrive, after all, rune logic is a completely new field, and no one in the world understands what they mean except Jenny, Rebecca, Herty, and Gawain, and the minds of these apprentices (assistants) are still stuck in traditional magical theories at first, and it took Jenny a lot of effort to reverse their concepts, but after a period of hard work, these people have gradually come in handy.

When they become professionals in the field of rune logic, Jenny will let them take turns to teach courses at the General Academy, and by that time, Mr. Santis should have completed the children's basic courses in rune knowledge and magic theory.

Then, the children in the realm will grow into a new generation with knowledge and skills, and these knowledge and skills will continue to be passed on and expanded, and everyone will have the opportunity to learn all this under the impetus of the lord.

Teaching, learning, dissemination, the transmission of knowledge will not stop easily as long as it begins, it will continue until everyone has the right to access knowledge, the right to think and inquire into the truth, and all this ...... Probably that's what Mr. Ravenkes would like to see.

Jenny lowered her head again, looking at the intricate arrangement of runes in front of her, as well as some calculations and diagrams that seemed to the layman to be like heavenly books, and fell into deep thought.

These were not regular magic array blueprints, but a special "observation record" given to her by Master Kamal, which included the structure of the control and output units of the magic obelisk, as well as the readings of the magical energy that Kamal had observed through the "Arcane Eye" and the magical energy that escaped from the magic obelisk, which included regular fluctuations in magic power and a complex series of diffusion and decay data.

These things are not easy to deal with, it is beyond the field that Jenny was exposed to when she studied rune logic, even Rebecca, who is strong in mathematics and physics, has a headache in her head for a long time when she first sees these things - they are no longer simple rune arrangement problems, nor are they simple examples that can be solved by simply comparing the interference values, these massive, pure data make Jenny have a sense of no grasp, but she knows that mathematics will not fail her.

These data may hide the most essential secrets of magic power, and the lord is also waiting for these data to uncover the mystery of "magic remote transmission", and use this as a breakthrough to find a way to simplify the communication circle, so Jenny picked up the manuscript paper and pen again after calming down, and once again devoted herself to thinking and calculating.

The pen and paper are her bridge to the path of magic, and only with the help of this bridge can she make herself more distant than anyone else in this mysterious realm.

After all, she has no magical talent.
